Thank you Gaylon and Bill replies to my query: #If you want an RTF file, like you'd get in PAF, you use the method Bill outlines. The "Publish a Family Book" allows you to combine several reports all into one large report with a master table of contents and master index. This option does not have the capability of generating to an RTF file -- you can either print it directly to your printer or to a PDF file.# It's a pity that when choosing the Publish A Book Mode it goes directly to the printer and does not enable me to modify the contents of the book reports as I rather like the layout. However I realise now I can't do that. Gaylon if I choose to click on PDF file would that be of any benefit as to what I want to achieve? Thanking you. Maureen

Maureen: If you print to paper, and use the capability in the "Publish a Family Book" option to include placeholders, then PAFWiz will skip the number of pages you ask in its numbering, so that you can insert these documents that you created outside of PAFWiz. The master index created by the feature will be accurate for the pages generated from your PAF data. If you use the tool mentioned by Bill to split a PDF file, you could essentially do the same thing -- print the Family Book to a PDF file, then use a PDF utility to insert other PDF documents in between the portions created by PAFWiz. Unless you can find a utility that allows you to actually convert a PDF file to something like a Word document, you probably won't be able to edit the information on a give page. I don't know the limitations or options available for PDF files to be any more clear on this point. The reason we put the Placeholder capability into the "Publish a Family Book" feature, was so that you could easily supplement the pages created from your PAF data with other pages or chapters in your book.
